crazandy's new SFR 2.5" exhaust (pics)

There it is. Here is my experience with Tim to get the exhaust.
I placed my order for the 2.5" exhaust on 1/24/2003 and received it on 2/5/2003, but he sent the newer style ( <a href="http://crazandy.mine.nu:8080/sfr1.jpg" target="_blank">http://crazandy.mine.nu:8080/sfr1.jpg</a> and <a href="http://crazandy.mine.nu:8080/sfr2.jpg" target="_blank">http://crazandy.mine.nu:8080/sfr2.jpg</a> ) when I ordered the older style ( <a href="http://www.speedforceracing.com/exhaust/exhaust001.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.speedforceracing.com/exhaust/exhaust001.jpg</a> ). So I called Tim and he told me to ship the muffler part back and keep the other pipe (for lack of a better name) and clamp. Then about 2 weeks later I received the muffler I originally ordered. It sat in my house for a few weeks because I was working on my newly aquired Jeep ( <a href="http://crazandy.mine.nu:8080/" target="_blank">http://crazandy.mine.nu:8080/</a> ) and I also could only loosen one bolt from the old exhaust. Finally I got my school auto tech teacher to take the old one off and put the new one on.
Overall, it looks and sounds good and I'm not all that upset with the experience; the hose clamp Tim sent me doesn't clamp down to 2.5" (I think he sent me the one for the 3" exhaust) but that was no big deal, I just baught a clamp on my own. The only other thing is that if you were operating a business you should notify someone before you ship them something other than what they ordered. If I were to have to get an exhaust all over, I still would go with Tim at SFR.

Heat has changed the color a bit, but its still very shiny. Exhausts get dirty quite easily, but all I have to do is wipe it with a sponge and hose it off. Still looks like new when I do this.
